GARY HATCH

Gary was one of my comrades in Honors at BYU. He was such a joy to work with -- and even more to know. I do grieve with you on his passing.

I am shocked! I was looking forward to seeing Gary at the Reading...he was an incredible scholar and brilliant educator. I will always remember the last time that we spoke...so caring, so thoughtful, so understanding....and most of all ....he was a good man....

I offer my heartfelt condolences to Gary's family and friends. I worked with him on the Advanced Placement Advisory Board. Lots of people are supportive in their efforts...only a few are bedrock. Gary was one of the few.

Bishop Hatch helped us to understand the importance of putting the Lord first at all times. He was a great man. We offer our deepest condolences and know that our hearts are with the Hatch family.

Love,

My heartfelt good wishes go to the entire family and friends. Gary Hatch's good humor and kind disposition provided great leadership at the AP English Language readings.

Brother Hatch is a great, great man. I admired, respected, and gained much from him as my bishop and later as my professor. He was strong, friendly, laid-back, kind, sensitive, knowledgeable, wise, and humble. I would've liked to learn more from him. I look forward to doing so at a later time.

My condolences to the Hatch family. Gary was a good man of great intellect and fine humor. All of us involved with the AP English Language program mourn the loss his passing represents.

Dr. Hatch had a tremendously positive influence on both my undergrad and graduate career at BYU. He was the ONLY professor to ever give me a 100% on a paper, a fact which I still appreciate to this day. When I asked him to write a letter of recommendation for grad school, he suggested that I look into becoming a graduate student instructor. This seemed like a good idea, so later I asked him to write another letter of rec for this, too. He just laughed and said that since he was in charge...
